Abstract

In this work, clay based geopolymer was prepared and applied for anionic dye (congo red) removal in water. Clay (kaolin) from Adjozounme in Ketou from Benin was used as aluminosilicate material and NaOH solution was alkaline activator in the molar ratio n(NaOH)/n(NaAlO2)/n(Na2SiO3, 5H2O) = 0.3/0.3/0.8 respectively. Then we added 0.5g of CTAB and 1.5g of metakaolin obtained by calcining kaolin at 800°C. Thus, two geopolymer samples were developed by varying the polymerization time (48 hours and 72 hours). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the two geopolymer sample could be amorphous. Measurements of parameters such as geopolymer mass, pH and kinetics revealed that this congo red can be removed up to 80% from water with a maximum adsorption capacity of 129.31mg/g under optimal conditions of 60 minutes of contact at pH ≤ 4. Adsorption is described by pseudo-second order kinetics. The implementation of this sector is essential to reduce the costs of treating industrial effluents.
